1.) Students began the game by creating a family unit of 7 people for each of them to look after.
2.) students had a brainstorm session to create a country name, slogan, language, ethnicity, resources, flag, constitution, and political system.

Gen-X is the next best thing. But instead of bragging about what weve done and
what we think we can do, we will go one step better and promise you what we will do
As a government

Lower taxes
Provide more and better jobs for poeple
Provide free health care benefits for everyone
Provide free daycare for single parents and families that need financial aid
Provide your country with a better justice system
Make your enviroment more eco-friendly
Allow free edication for kids and teens
You can hold us to those promises!
We are Gen-X, the generation for you.
Join Gen-X. Join the revoltion!
4.) Following the creation of the parties, students organized leaders' debates, elections, and a legislative session with the newly elected Prime Minister, cabinet, opposition, and gallery.
5.) Once the country was organized with a political system, we conducted an auction to have students buy property, land, and businesses for the game.
6.) Students began the game by renting out their property, buying energy units for their homes and businesses, and making food for others to buy. The idea of the game is to keep your family safe.
7.) Students were given an agenda (or ideology) to play the game. The political ideologies were used for students to play the game in a certain way to match real-life society. Students were not allowed to tell others their agenda. Students gained points by keeping their families safe, making money, and playing by the guidelines of their agenda.
8.) Town Hall meeting - students discuss issues relating to how the game is played and airing problems with life, government or with each other.
9.) Judicial Session - Students are brought to trial for charges against them.
